Kris hung all the decorations, I made the food, and Grandma Sally strolled and entertained Brantley while all the preparation was going on. The menu consisted of Spankopita, petite quiches, blue cheese rolled grapes, Antipasto dip, cupcakes, and AppleBerry Punch. The task I took on with the most excitement was making a video with pictures from Brantley's first year of life and setting them to special music to be played during the party. I'm glad I worked on it the week before the party so that I had watched it at least 100 times by Sunday and had gotten most of the "emotion" out of my system...And there was "emotion". This has been both the fastest and slowest year of my life at the same time. I never knew what the next day would bring. And just when I thought I had figured out what the next day would bring, she changed it up on me! No doubt the biggest transitional period of my life and I am all the better for it. But back to our party...
